I have an obsession with old computers

[Rick James]

I honestly cannot stop buying this crap. Today other then buying a new car picked up a dual 1.4Ghz P3 tower with 4 gigs of ram, no OS but 4 15K 75gb SCSI drives. Grand total? 25 dollars. haha

Its kinda slow but will store files very nicely.

Sounds like my $83 1.5Tb HD.

Saw that on newegg.

Oh, and I can top you OP. I found a filleted amiga 500 for $2.00 at a thrift store. Motherboard and guts mounted on a cork frame. It's on the wall in my basement!

This computer is going to be swapped with the office computer just as soon as i get a cheap ass video card. Decided that 1 I7 system is enough and its not worth spending the cash on another setup. The lady can deal with this slow MOFO

This computer is probably on par with an Amd Athlon

that's not old enough to be old.

Dude, you need to look at my FS thread I've been looking for people like you!

Old? Pffft.....I've got a bag of 30-pin SIMMS for ya!

I like old enterprise-class systems that were like $20k-$40k when they first came out.. and they're like $500 on Ebay now..

Especially.. rack-mount drive arrays.. Still insanely fast performance..

OLD? I had an old Cyrix 486 system and a Pentium 133, both in operational condition, until about 3 years ago when I donated them to the local school's technology lab so kids could take them apart. As a joke, I called Gateway a few years ago (I think 2002) (the Pentium 133 system) and they quoted the system value at $15 and the monitor (17" CRT) at $25.

JUst tried to switch it on today. PSU's went out on me. Thankfully i have a 500W just lying around.

There's an old server or whatever you call it. Has room for 8 900mhz P3 Xeon's. I wonder how that would perform with 8 fucking processors.

I've started playing a 12yro game, does that count?

Shut up!
<---------has not tossed his out yet

 

[Rick James]

Anyone have any 1GB 133mhz ECC memory lying around?

I hate old computers.

 

[Blayze]

I wouldn't mind finding a system like that for $25.
